  1. @tomasCZ See the mind for what it is-mind. Than use the mind as a master craftsman uses a tool. Learn to trust what is inside and everything will manifest on it's own. When a girl comes into your life (or anything), she will come into your life as if it has already been written. Let go and trust that everything is unfolding in it's own time. I understand this doesn't answer your questions. You already have.
  2. @The Village Idiot No rush to do anything. I'm saying. just let it all gel. Sometimes it's best to back off for a while and let everything just fall into place. The big picture will evolve of it's own.
  3. @The Village Idiot The seed is planted. It needs no help from you other than staying out of it's sun.
  4. @Lorenzo Engel It sounds like she got a good dose of no-self and it bought her to her knees. There has been a lot of that lately. Hopefully that's all it is and she will be fine. She may be confused and a bit frightened right now.
  5. @Wouter It's hard to say. She "grasped the ground" purposely? What kind of an obvious experience was on her face? She didn't black out or anything, right? Children experience this with no knowledge of spiritually at all. Anyone can when they are ready.
  6. How to close the doors of perception? That's a new one! How far open are they now?
  7. Thanks@Isle of View
  8. @Isle of View Did you watch that last video at all? How her experience totally changed her view. This is something that needs to be experienced directly by the individual. Me or anyone else telling the person ideas that are at best conceptual to the person won't help that much. It may be somewhatcomforting but not much more than that.
  9. So what is your suggestion for someone who has very little time?@Isle of View
  10. !@Isle of View Tell this to the terminally ill woman and NYU. I was actually going to show this video to my friend. You suggest I don't? As for me, I have no intention of doing drugs. I'm fine already and good to go when my time comes! But thanks for your concern. "Sorry for your loss"? A bit premature for condolences.
  11. @Isle of View I bought the emWave for my girlfriends daughter who is always quite stressed and also suffers from an irregular heart rhythm. I tried to get her to meditate, but she doesn't. As of now she pets her cat as a means to reduce stress in her life. Hopefully she will find the emWave useful because of it's ease of use, visual display and portability. It's better than nothing I figure. I was reading more about it yesterday and a lot of athletes do HRV training for optimal performance. They call it "getting into the zone". My daughter's fiancé works out a lot too. I'll let him check it out also. As far as my friend John with the cancer. The bio-feedback I was referring to for terminally ill people would be a long way off into the future if ever. As of now all there is, is research with medicine like LSD to show terminally ill people something other than a self exists. (See the bottom vid.)
  12. @All_Around_Me
  13. @Mat Pav That sounds like an accurate description. It is a state of being, and well being. "Everything is exactly as it should be at this very moment".
  14. @Isle of View I just pulled the trigger on the emWave. My girlfriends daughter has an ill regular heart rhythm and sometimes has to wear a heart monitor. I have been suggesting meditation to her for a while but she doesn't do it. She is stressed right now because she is starting a new job that is very demanding at a hospital. Maybe she will find it of use in her busy schedule. You have the emWave?
  15. @Henri Well that's too bad. Let me tell you where I'm coming from. I have a friend that is dying with cancer. The doctors didn't give him much time. He is just a regular guy that got the devastating news that his life will be ending very soon. Imagine for a moment that something that was safe and controlled like bio-feedback could bring a sense of peace and bliss to his life and would show him that no matter what happens, it is going to be all right. If he could experience what long term meditators experience in his short time he has, that would be a blessing. I wish everyday that he could experience the peace and bliss that there is something beyond what we normally experience as a personal self. As of now that can only be done through administering drugs.
  16. No I haven't but I would love to try it sometime. I used to have an alpha-theta b-w monitor. It had an audible signal and you could really hone in and fine tune into b-w activity . It took the guess work out of meditation because I could get direct feedback on where I was at and focus on staying at that point. If the mind would drift that was also shown as soon as it started to happen because the signal would fall off instantly and I would catch myself before I got too far off track. Once I found where I liked to be, I could get back to that after a while without using it because I knew exactly where to go. The problem was that the sensors were not developed as well as they are today and were a real pain to get a strong signal. It had metal sensors and a gel.
  17. @Henri That's the new world we live in. I can see a day when someone can go to a institute and have a brain wave monitor placed on their head and what would normally take decades and thousands of hours of meditation to achieve could be accomplished in a couple of short sessions.
  18. @Isle of View I seen a heart coherence monitor a while back. Yes, it sounds interesting.
  19. @All_Around_Me I kept asking the same exact questions you where. "Will I ever feel normal again?" How long does this last? Will it get worse or better? My mind was going a million miles an hour and that was making me feel totally panicked. My family could not understand. I can totally relate and most people here too. Yes that is resistance causing all that useless trouble. But that is hard to see when your mind is spinning out of control.
  20. @All_Around_Me Good thing Leo started this forum. When it happened to me the first time there was no forum. I didn't know what had happen. I thought I lost my mind or something and nobody answered me on Leo's YouTube channel. After that I stated there that something has to be there when this is experienced for the first time. Some kind of support system. Getting the person to the experience of no-self is one thing, but than what is there to ground someone once the realization happens and it hits them in the face all at once. Leo should do an in depth video on what the experience is like once that realization happens. That way people wont feel like they are going mad. I remember at the time just desperately wanting someone to talk to. Someone who understood what I had just experienced. It does scare the heck out of a person the first time.
  21. @All_Around_Me I'm so glad to hear that. You had a busy week to say the least. Let it just gel for a while and when you feel ready, do some nice easy breath meditation for relaxation and you'll be just fine. Nobody ever forgets their first time and you will look back on this someday and exchange memories of it with others as we do. You could start a journal too if you want.
  22. @JustinS If absolute awareness is only a belief or concept at this point, the first hand experience is needed. Even if it only last a couple of minutes it can still show you the true direction and open up a part of you that was dormant. After the experience I constantly slip back into being centered within the body again. It is a constant struggle to keep that door open. But I know it's always there now. Some days it's easy and everything is right in front of you (as it has always been) and some days it's not so easy and it is more illusive. For me it's a constant struggle because the body/mind is always pulling me back. It is getting somewhat easier by the day. Eventually it will totally consume "me" over time. I'm optimistic. For an example: On Wednesday after I meditated pure awareness was particularly strong. Everything surrounding me was bathed in an ocean of pure presents. It felt as if I was at the bottom of a sea, but instead of being surrounded by water, I was surrounded by pure awareness. Just thinking about now that gets my back there and reopens that gateless, gate. Everything around us is submerged in an ocean of pure awareness. It's a unified field. It's always there.
  23. @All_Around_Me How are you feeling? Did you get some sleep?
  24. @actualized1 Yes, plastic surgery is too.
  25. @Arik To sit in the forest and see the splendor of new growth is easy. Finding splendor in what is returning to the forest floor is hard.
